FutureB-
The Packers worked the phones like thieves and earned a B. The move everyone will second-guess came early. The Packers reached some 42 spots for Drew Kendall, and value like that does not grow back.
The phones were where this weekend was really won. A whole weekend of picks and quarterback is somehow still a want. Horton falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch.
Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.
Pick Analysis
Pick25
Rnd1
Shavon Revel Jr.
In pick 25 they get a sticky cover corner at fair value. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
Pick54
Rnd2
Jayden Higgins
By-the-book stuff, Jayden Higgins at slot 54 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick89
Rnd3
Darius Alexander
They took Darius Alexander at par in the Round 3 slot, which is nothing to complain about. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick90
Rnd3
Ashton Gillotte
No drama and no debate, Ashton Gillotte went about where he belonged in pick No. 90. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick124
Rnd4
Tory Horton
Value with a capital V on Tory Horton in Round 4, Pick 22, a genuine coup. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick127
Rnd4
Tyler Baron
A wild overpay on Tyler Baron in the 127th pick, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick159
Rnd5
CJ West
A real head-scratcher, CJ West in No. 159 is miles ahead of his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick198
Rnd6
Carson Vinson
Carson Vinson in Round 6, Pick 22 is a bet on their own eyes over everyone else's grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick237
Rnd7
Teddye Buchanan
The board had cheaper options than Teddye Buchanan at the Round 7 slot, and it noticed. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick250
Rnd7
Drew Kendall
Drew Kendall in the 250th overall pick is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
